“Jenn & Kim have done a great job of providing what kids need to know, with a great blend of hands-on, video and of course, the excitement of getting a box of stuff every month. (Everybody loves getting stuff!) Kids and dogs can be perfect together!”

Suzanne ClothierAuthor "Bones Would Rain from the Sky: Deepening Our Relationships With Dogs" and Developer of the CARAT and RAT assessment tools–suzanneclothier.com

“Good Dog in a Box is a great idea. I love the emphasis on compassion and gentle training. Your program is great!”

Colleen PelarAuthor of "Living with Kids & Dogs...Without Losing Your Mind" and "Puppy Training for Kids"–Living with Kids and Dogs

“I found this all to be very complete and easy to follow. The creative games were a hit and really made learning about dogs and behavior fun. I really (and my daughter) enjoyed the kit.”

Jennifer Shryock, B.A. CDBCOwner of Family Paws Parent Education & certified dog behavior consultant–Family Paws Parent Education

“We love it! My son couldn’t stop watching the videos. I finally had to say, ‘No..it’s time for bed!’ I’m really surprised by how much of an interest he now takes in our dogs. Him having these exercises as a step by step guide is amazing. He’s excited and wants to work with the dogs every day. (My dogs are 9 and 10 and are equally as excited to work with him!) I think if I would have tried to do these things on my own, it would not have been successful. He needed this in a program that was for HIM.”
